Spike's Growing Pains

Twilight woke up from the night before.

"*YAWN* What a good night's sleep can do," said Twilight. She tried to get out of bed but something was on her leg. She pulled the cover and revealed Spike hugging it. He whispered something. "Twilight...." She pushed him off her leg, went out into the main room, thinking.

How did this happen? Must have been a coincidence. That's it.

She heard a yawn from upstairs. The door opened.

"Morning, Twilight."

"Good Morning, Spike."

They had doughnuts and coffee.

"I've got some errands to run. I'll be back soon." With a closing door, Spike was gone. Twilight decided to read about  a dragon's hormones and how to tell if dragons are in love. She read one part that said they do odd things in there sleep. With this in mind, she decided to investigate. She went to their room and shut the door. She grabbed Spike's diary from under his blankets in his bed and began to search for the morning entry. She read it:

10/12/2011

Morning

Dear Diary, I found out last night that I don't have to worry about becoming a monster thanks to Twilight's information. I see that as long as I have something to keep me occupied or someone to...love, I won't become a monster. I realise if anyone can both keep me in check and love me, it's.....

"Twilight?" She froze in place, mouth wide open and heart rate rising. She couldn't believe it. Her #1 assistant, a baby dragon, loves her and trusts her to keep him in check. She put the diary away and went out to the main room to think.

WHY ME! WHY NOT RARITY?.......That's it! He trusts me so he thinks that since I can keep him in check, he could love me too. That still sounds weird, but now, at least there's an explanation.

Spike returned and sat on the couch. Twilight walked up and he began to show a blush on his face.

"Hi Spike. There's something want to ask you."

"Okay."

"After last night, I've been thinking about if I'm able keep you in check while you mature. I want your thoughts."

"I think you always can lead me the right way and that's why I trust you." He blushed again. She hugged him.

"I'll always be there for you." He started to tear up. After a while, it was getting late. "Come on. Let's go to bed." They said their goodnight to each other and fell asleep.

5 days later, Twilight checked Spike's diary once again:

10/17/2011

Morning

Dear Diary, So far so good. I know she can keep me in check and will be there for me. I'm now convinced. Now, I know she's the one and...It may be a bit of a rush, but I'm gonna tell her how I feel tonight.

She put his diary away and thought about it. She was now convinced that she had feelings for him too. After thinking more, she decided that he should make the first move.

Later that night, Spike returned and waited for Twilight to finish work.

"Uh.....Twilight." He was trembling.

"Yes?"

"Can I talk to you about something?"

"Anything." They sat down on the couch, near the lit fireplace.

"After our talk, I've thought about something for a while. I know you can keep me in line. I trust you. There's something I want to say."

"Yes?"

"I LOVE YOU!" He blurted out, turning away as Twilight sat there. She came up to him and turned him around.

"To be honest, I love you too, Spiky." She then kissed him for a minute. Spike was on cloud nine and heaven at the same time. He broke the kiss, tearing up.

"Why?"

"I read your diary." Before Spike could say anything, she put her hoof in his mouth. "I know your mad. I'd be mad too. But I understand; you were worried about being a monster and trusting me to keep you in check was heartwarming and I now realize, I love you as much as you love me." They then kissed again and hugged and all that. It wasn't sexual. It was warm.

BUT........................

"What the shell?" whispered a mysterious figure in the window. It fled back to Carousal Boutique. The door opened to reveal it to be Sweetie Belle. Rarity was sitting on the couch.

"What happened?" Sweetie came over and sat on the couch.

"It's what you thought, sis. But I don't get why this is so important."

"I'm the queen of love and gossip. I needed to hear this. Thank you, Sweetie Belle." They hugged. "We'll assemble the team later. For now, want to play Super Mario Chess?" Sweetie beamed at the idea and nodded. They began...

I spent a while on this and it turned out great. I originally had the second talk for 12/13/20XX, but it seemed too soon. Hope you like this. Comment please. Good or Bad.
